31.Good to Be Home.

So there might be light tension in this chapter. 

Two weeks later.

It was Sunday. Marie and Collin had taken Cora to the church while Aira decided to stay back at home, she was cooking brunch. She had the ear pods on her ears.

Henry decided to surprise Aira, his parents told they had taken Cora out to the Church and would be visiting Nikki, Lauren and the boys. He requested them not to let Aira know. He walked into the house. He had left Kal at Nikki's place. He saw her standing next to the glass top. She was wearing one of his sweats and a pair of shorts and her hair up in a bun. She was swaying her hips, humming oblivious to his presence. He went to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. He felt her elbow jab his kidney. "Ow!"

Aira jumped as she felt someone wrap their arm around her waist she jabbed the person's kidney. "Ow!" She heard Henry yelp.

"Oh God! Sorry, sorry," She chanted, biting her lip. Henry rubbed the area with his hand. "Not the kind of welcome I expected,"

"You sneaked up on me!" She accused.

"My bad, where is my hug?" She jumped into his open arm. Henry chuckled as he spun her around. She smiled and placed a kiss on his lips. She hummed into the smile. Henry pulled away, Aira smelt something burning.

"Shit!" She noticed the bacon burn. She ran to the stove. "Shit! Shit!" She cursed as she turned it off. The tortilla wraps she made were the only thing that was done. She still had to make bacon and eggs and orange juice. She felt Henry pull her close to his body, placing light kisses along her neck.

"Hen, I need to make brunch before your parents and Cora are back." She said as she tried to remove the pan from the stove and discard the bacon.

"They won't come anytime soon. I sent them off to Nik's. I wanted to spend some time with you." He murmured against her skin. Aira turned to face him.

"You mean you set this up,"

"Yep, I know you have a hectic week ahead, curtsy to Farah, I wanted to spend some time with you." Henry said, "Is that so Mr Cavill?" Aira asked him, playing with his shirt button. "I am afraid it is so, Doc," He said smugly. Aira rolled her eyes; Henry leaned forward to kiss her. "Aha! First get fresh."

"Kill Joy," Henry muttered, as he reluctantly let go of her. She giggled as he pouted at her. She tiptoed to place a kiss on his cheek. He scooped her up, "Put me down!" He shook his head as he carried her to the bedroom.

"I missed my girlfriend and now I am going to have some alone time with her." Aira blushed; she opened her mouth and closed it like a fish. She realised her heart was going erratic in its ribcage threatening to jump out, and finally do that happy gig. Henry winked at her as he opened the door to the bedroom.

He stepped on something and slipped and fell down on the floor. Aira screeched as the world came down. She found herself splayed across Henry's chest while he was groaning beneath her.

"Babe, you okay?"

"I think I hit my head," He said groaning in pain. She scrambled up, "Ouch!" Henry shouted as she accidentally dug her palm into his stomach. "Sorry," She squeaked.

"What was it?" He asked groaning as he sat up. "Cora's duck, and it's not salvageable. We need to replace it." Henry looked at her unbelievably. "Your boyfriend just fell down and might have probably have hurt his back and head and you are concerned about a rubber duck." Aira looked at him sheepishly.

"I will get some of that massage oil, and ice pack and draw you a bath." She said rushing out of the room.

"Aira," Henry rested his hand on his hip, "I was pulling her leg and she took it seriously." He said shaking his head. He chuckled as he thought of her. He noticed the room was a disaster. Cora's toys were everywhere; Aira's clothes were on a pile on the laundry basket. He sighed before he opened his closet. Aira's corner was a disaster. He heard her footsteps. She came to him handing him the icepack. She noticed the mess her side of the closet was. She felt stupid. "I am so sorry; I was going to clean up after cooking. I know I am messy, I was running late yesterday, I know that's not an excuse," She ranted as she tried to fold her clothes up. She was going around in frenzy. He could see she was panicking.
